In recent years, studies investigating the role of gut microbiota in health and diseases have increased enormously – making it essential to deepen question research methodology employed. Fecal transplantation (FMT) rodent (either from human or animal donors) allows us better understand causal intestinal across multiple fields. However, this technique lacks standardization requires careful experimental design order obtain optimal results. By comparing several which rodents are final recipients FMT, we summarize common practices review, document limitations method highlight different parameters be considered while designing FMT Studies. Standardizing is challenging, as differs according topic, but avoiding pitfalls feasible. Several methodological questions remain unanswered day offer a discussion on issues explored future studies.

Emerging evidence indicates that gut microbiota is important in the regulation of brain activity and cognitive functions. Microbes mediate communication among metabolic, peripheral immune, central nervous systems via microbiota–gut–brain axis. However, it not well understood how microbiome neurons mutually interact or these interactions affect normal functioning cognition. We summarize mechanisms whereby regulate production, transportation, neurotransmitters. also discuss dysbiosis affects function, especially neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease Parkinson’s disease.

Emerging evidence indicates that the gut microbiota play a crucial role in bidirectional communication between and brain suggesting microbes may shape neural development, modulate neurotransmission affect behavior, thereby contribute to pathogenesis and/or progression of many neurodevelopmental, neuropsychiatric, neurological conditions. This review summarizes recent data on microbiota-gut-brain axis pathophysiology neuropsychiatric disorders including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders, Parkinson's disease, migraine, epilepsy. Also, involvement co-existing with conditions is highlighted. We discuss from both vivo preclinical experiments clinical reports including: (1) studies germ-free animals, (2) exploring composition animal models diseases or humans, (3) evaluating effects probiotic, prebiotic antibiotic treatment as well (4) fecal transplantation.

Abstract Evidence is mounting that the gut-brain axis plays an important role in mental diseases fueling mechanistic investigations to provide a basis for future targeted interventions. However, shotgun metagenomic data from treatment-naïve patients are scarce hampering comprehensive analyses of complex interaction between gut microbiota and brain. Here we explore fecal microbiome based on 90 medication-free schizophrenia 81 controls identify microbial species classifier distinguishing with area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) 0.896, replicate microbiome-based disease 45 (AUC = 0.765). Functional potentials associated include differences short-chain fatty acids synthesis, tryptophan metabolism, synthesis/degradation neurotransmitters.

Abstract Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are the main metabolites produced by bacterial fermentation of dietary fibre in gastrointestinal tract. The absorption SCFAs is mediated substrate transporters, such as monocarboxylate transporter 1 and sodium-coupled 1, which promote cellular metabolism. An increasing number studies have implicated microorganisms crucial executors diet-based microbial influence on host. important fuels for intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) represent a major carbon flux from diet, that decomposed gut microbiota. play vital role multiple molecular biological processes, promoting secretion glucagon-like peptide-1 IECs to inhibit elevation blood glucose, expression G protein-coupled receptors GPR41 GPR43, inhibiting histone deacetylases, participate regulation proliferation, differentiation, function IECs. affect motility, barrier function, host Furthermore, regulatory roles local, intermediate, peripheral metabolisms.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a psychiatric condition that affects large number of people in the world, and treatment existents do not work for all individuals affected. Thus, it believed other systems or pathways which regulate brain networks involved mood regulation cognition are associated with MDD pathogenesis. Studies humans animal models have been shown there increased levels inflammatory mediators, including cytokines chemokines both periphery central nervous system (CNS).
